"We are still investigating, but my conviction is [Google] are diverting traffic," Almunia said, referencing the charge that Google's search algorithm points to its own products over the competition in fields like travel and local reviews. Those findings suggest that a link to Google+ or Chrome might show up higher, even if it doesn't have the most relevance. "They are monetising this kind of business, the strong position they have in the general search market and this is not only a dominant position, I think – I fear – there is an abuse of this dominant position," he added.
